17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history when a battleship served as an ice breaker, freeing over 40 ships trapped in the frozen Baltic Sea. The severity of the frost had caused the Baltic to freeze almost completely, leaving numerous vessels stranded amidst the icy pack. In dire need of assistance, distress calls reached the Imperial Naval Station in Kiel, Germany. Answering this urgent plea for help was none other than the mighty battleship Braunschweig. With its powerful engines and sturdy hull, it embarked on a daring mission to rescue those marooned at sea. As thick plumes of smoke billow from its funnels against a backdrop of desolate ice-covered waters, this image encapsulates both danger and hope. The battleship's imposing presence symbolizes strength and determination as it maneuvers through treacherous conditions to reach stranded ships. With unwavering resolve, Braunschweig managed to free approximately 40 vessels from their icy prison while also providing much-needed supplies to others still awaiting liberation. This heroic feat showcased not only German ingenuity but also highlighted the crucial role played by naval forces during times of crisis. Preserved through time by Central News' exceptional photography skills, this monochrome snapshot transports us back to March 6th, 1924 – an era defined by resilience and unity in overcoming nature's formidable challenges.
